Integrating the DHTMLX graphic modeler into an existing product

Rating: 9 out of 10

January 21, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a software publisher, we develop a suite of tools for cyber risk analysis. An important aspect of this activity is to enable the graphical representation of different models, of varied nature, such as a network map or an attack scenario. In fact, we were looking for a graphic modeling solution that could be customized to meet our different requirements, and that could be integrated into our products. This integration issue was important, as we have tools with different technical stacks, and which can be deployed On Premise or on SaaS. Furthermore, once integrated the graphic modeler had to be able to communicate with the rest of our applications, and adapt representations to suit user preferences. Finally, ergonomics and ease of use were decisive factors, as we already had a solution in place to which our end-users were accustomed. They had to be able to find their way around it, with advanced features such as automatic layout, copy/paste, styling, nesting of elements, etc. Finally, by opting for the DHTMLX solution, we were able to benefit from other components, such as tabular representation, which is an ideal complement to graphics, especially for visualizing large amounts of information efficiently.

Pros

Graphical editor
Table representation
Ergonomic
Easy to take in hands

Cons

Advanced customization of editors
Advanced charts representation
Auto layout with specific arrangements

Likelihood to Recommend

In my opinion, DHTMLX's differentiating feature is its ability to be integrated into existing applications, whether in web mode or as a fat client for graphical or tabular editors. On the other hand, advanced customization and the addition of new functionalities may be more complex to implement and maintain over time. For example, we had to add the management of specific types of links, with the visualization of “bridges” at crossings. Depending on the functionality, this type of modification or extension can be tedious if not foreseen by DHTMLX.

Gantt Chart Resource Management

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

July 4, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're developing a custom resource management application in ASP.Net Core 8, Entity Framework 8 and SQL Server hosted on Azure. A critical requirement is a Gantt chart to display projects, tasks and assignments that can be resourced while also displaying below the Gantt chart a grid showing resource load so that over/under loading becomes obvious. The DHTMLX Gantt allows us to do exactly that as it's specifically designed in this way with the ability to capture events from the Gantt and handle them as required server side then display back to the user in the grid. The interaction is handled by Javascript/JQuery back to the server which responds with JSON. Although Vue, Angular and React are also supported if a customer prefers. There are many additional features which can be included like sorting, grouping and the documentation and examples are extensive.

Pros

Gantt: Moving tasks or entire projects
Gantt: A linked grid to display resource load
Gantt: Full control allowing you to decide how to implement
Pricing was reasonable and we can upgrade to Enterprise by paying the difference if required.

Cons

There's always room to provide more samples to help

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only speak about the Gantt chart but support has been excellent and the documentation is very thorough. It is only appropriate if you have the skills required to implement it, however this can be outsourced or internal developers augmented, this service can be offered by XB Software as they offer DHTMLX Customization and Development.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Integration of some of the UI widgets into our platform. It was really helpful to get a rich library like DHTMLX's to help build some of the product prototypes we were working on. The use case was focused primarily on scheduling and gannt views of activities. Really happy with the quality of the library

Pros

speed
performance
scalability

Cons

documentation
licensing
more widgets

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for web-based product development where data is central and preserving performance is important. Less appropriate where you need a fully customised library that you can completely edit from the grounds up. Overall well-suited for most use cases, especially the ones regarding scheduling and spreadhseets in a web browser

Streamlining Solar Projects: A DHTMLX Gantt Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

February 22, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

DHTMLX Gantt serves as the foundational element of our project management tools, enabling Project Managers, Engineers, and various team members within the Solar sector to efficiently organize, monitor, and implement their project timelines through a user-friendly interface. Its features and API are straightforward and facilitate effortless integration, streamlining the project management process for our team.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use API
Great performance with large datasets
Customizations

Cons

More examples
Multi-project resource management
Mobile access - responsiveness

Likelihood to Recommend

For industries like construction and solar energy projects that involve multiple stages, dependencies, and milestones, DHTMLX Gantt is highly effective. Its ability to visually represent complex project timelines helps plan, track, and adjust schedules as projects evolve.

Currently, it lacks a feature to provide weightage for activities. As of today, this needs to be handled manually. It would be great if DHTMLX handles different weights for activities.

DHTMLX Review

Rating: 9 out of 10

February 19, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for a JS Gantt chart plugin to reduce the time to market of our product and found DHTMLX to be the one closest to our requirements. They have good documentation with sample code that makes it easy to implement for our developers. The component APIs are stable and performant which makes them good to use in the long term.

Pros

Gantt charts
Developer documentation
Clean UI
Stable API

Cons

Give more discounts for continued renewals

Likelihood to Recommend

It is best suited for teams looking for a suite of UI components that are rich in functionality and with a coherent API. The cost is high so there has to be genuine need for many of the components. There may be multiple options available for individual components like Gantt charts or spreadsheets but very few that offer them together as a a single package.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the DHTMLX components in our SaaS web application. To develop these components ourselves would take time and increase cost. By using the DHTMLX components we are able to increase our productivity, speed up development and reduce cost. DHTMLX has been providing components for a number of years and it is used by a number of large software companies so I expect them to be around for quite some time. They also provide good samples, videos and documentation so the onboarding process is simple and it's easy to use.

Pros

Onboarding and ease of use
Good design and build of the components

Cons

It would be a huge improvement if we were able to call custom actions/methods from the to do component

Likelihood to Recommend

This is great for a web based SaaS application.

Likelihood to Recommend

Rapid development of web applications: DHTMLX provides a set of pre-built UI widgets that can be easily integrated into web applications, which makes it well suited for developing applications quickly. DHTMLX is well suited for building enterprise-level applications that require complex UI elements and data visualization. DHTMLX is less appropriate for Simple applications: If you are building a simple application that does not require a complex UI, DHTMLX may be overkill, and you may be better off using a lighter-weight framework.
